English cattle ranges in the West
were expected by the fearful five years
ago to monopolize the trade, but
they are passing through the inevita-
BILE reaction which weeds out of every
new industry the enterprises which
lack the advantage of personal super
vision. TheLondon Statist gives Their re-
ports of nine cattle companies. OF which
seven paid dividends in 1884, six in
1885 and two in 1886. From sales
of 1900 cattle in 1885 these COM
panies fell to $4,000 in 1886. and the
fall in the average price per head was
nearly in proportion. In short, the
bottom has fallen out of the business
as far as these particular companies
are concerned, and the complaint
seems to be general in the case OF
these English companies. y

Too Much for the Marquis.

New York Specialize big advertise
ments of the National Meat Consumers
association have recently disappeared
from the public gaze, and the few people
who were persuaded to invest 50 on &C.
count OF a $40 share in the company have
all got their money back. The Marquis de
Mores could not be found, and none of his
officials or clerks would give any in
formation whatever. From other source s
it was learned that the money subscribed
not reaching nearly the $4,000, 900 the
marquis believes to be necessary to float
his scheme properly, it was rturned to the
subscribers. He then endeavored to in
terest large capitalists in his scheme, but
40 fur, it is said. without meeting with
much encouragement; and 10Y it is under
stood that he is considering a cooperative
plan based upon the principle Of the stores
which nave proved so successful in England.
The wholesalers and retailers of this city
did all they could to make the scheme OF
the marquis a failure.

Mr.. P0wderly to the Knights.

In a long letter published in Philadel.
phia, Mr.. Powderly says:
Knights ofLabor need not so away from
home to get issues to advocate. They
have q declaration OF principles, every one
of which carried out would materially i'd
van the welfare OF the human family.
Take this fourth section OF our platform
for instance, ''that the public lands, the
heritage OF the people, bereserved for actual
settlers-not another acre for railroads
or spectators; and that all lands now
held for speculative purposes to be
taxed to their full value" The latter
clause especially would materially les.
sen the tax in nearly every municipality
in the country by making it Improbable
to hold. IA graduated income tax" which
is the thirteenth article OF our. faith,
would more equally divide the burdens
of taxation. The doing away with
banks of issue is a third i'm
p~ortant plank-a question which will soon
have to be met, for the rapid repayment OF
the government bonds willinduce the issuers
OF the illogical and expensive national bank
currency to ask congressional sanction for
some other means OF keeping hold OF this
source OF income. Last, out not least, is
a matter Of vital Importance to free gov
ernment, state ownership OF railroads, tel
egraph and the like, OF the means of trans
porting intelligence. passengers and freights.
On this point the Knights speak with no
uncertain sound.
